HP Anti-glare LED Display (1920 x 1080)

I am looking at a dv6t and I can't find any helpful pictures or videos showcasing the anti-glare applied on HP's high-res LED screen.

Does anyone know any videos or pictures that show the anti-glare screen at different angles so I can get a sense of it? It's frustrating me that I can't find this on the forums or anywhere. Perhaps even on other HP notebooks?

Thanks!

 

Comparing it to the 768 screen as well.

Dv6t-6XXX Screens

 

I assume the better looking screen on the left is the 1920x1080???

 

Yeah. I think the 1080p screen looks even nicer, I think that 1080p screen may be before they switched to a new screen, though I'm not sure.

 

Is 1080p on a 15 inch screen easily readable text or do you have to increase fonts or go to a lower resolution? Are webpages easy to read at 1080p, as well as windows explorer, widgets, etc.?

 

The rez is fine, just right click your desktop and select your rez.

OR just use your 2 finger on the trackpad to enlarge text.

 

I don't want to have to lower the rez or expand/magnify things like on a smartphone. I want a full 1920x1080 15" laptop screen that I can read everything with multiple windows opened at its native resolution to minimize scrolling and overlapped windows. I have stock quotes streaming in little boxes all over the screen, widgets, trillian, firefox, windows explorer, etc. all open at once on my 24" and 27" 1080p monitors on my home systems, obviously bigger and easy to read. Will 15" 1080p be easy enough to read text in all these boxes for all everyday uses, or do I have to go to a 17" laptop? I did see a 16.4" Sony 1080p at Best Buy and it was readable with the right brightness and digital vibrance. I am just not sure if going down from 16.4" to 15" would be much harder to read, because the Sony is pushing it, but my old laptop is 13" 1024x768 matte and easily readable to me. I wish I could see the HP 1080p in a store, but I can't find it anywhere. Should I be confident that the 1080p on the HP will be readable, or am I gambling on a return?
P.S. I guess I am assuming that 1920x1080 is easily readable on the HP dv6t, or they wouldn't
offer the 1080p screen on the 15" model. I don't want to just assume this, and possibly make an "" out of "u" and "me". Any comments or help from users of this model/screen would be appreciated.

 

Kalookakoo:
Thank you so much for those pictures! Is the 1080 screen the same they use today? Viewing angles look better than 720p.

What I did was download a screenshot of a high-res desktop ( http://www.slimshadyplace.nl/images/windows7_7229_screenshot.png) and get an image program that can zoom to fit the image in screen in full-screen mode. This isn't entirely accurate, though.

The text and caption buttons won't be that small, because the DPI is set higher than what you'll see, I think (115%?).

If anyone has a screenshot of a 1920 x 1080 desktop (with windows open for scale) set at 115% dpi, that'd be great. Maybe it'll be a more accurate representation of what a 1920 x 1080 resolution will look on our laptop.

 

Yeah, I thought this would be simple to find but this information seems to be hidden. Any more examples? Perhaps someone can share their own?

 

Can't speak for the 15" display on the DV6, but the DV7 17" 1080p display is sharp and clear with no need to resize, regardless of how small the text.

 

The HP DV7 1080p screen is one of the best screens in the market...

 

Yeah, that screenshot looks great on my 27" 1080p monitor, has a lot of windows open like I do, but won't give me any idea of how it would look at only 15"

 

1080p is 1080p, just look a little smaller at 15"...

 

Anyone know if the Envy 17 3D screen is also anti-glare? Or the non-3D Envy full HD screen? Outside of the 3D element, is there anything different between the 1080p dv7t and 1080p Envy screens?

 

The envy 17 (3d and not 3d) screen is glossy. I believe they have the same stats besides the glossy/AG.

 

I would get the 1080p without question, not only for the higher resolution, but because it has far wider color gamut, much, much better viewing angles, higher brightness and contrast than the base, 1366X768 screen. Once you own the computer, the screen is the thing you will interact with the most on a daily basis. You will be far better off with the better screen. You also have protection in case you get it and hate it; you have 30 days to return it.

Here are the experiences I base my recommendation upon:

I had a Sony Z13 for a while with a 1080p 13" screen. When I upgraded machines I went for the 1600 X 900, but not because the characters were too small to read, but because for that model, the 900p screen is brighter and has higher contrast, which I preferred. About 50% of Z buyers opt for the 1080p screen and swear by it.

I also owned an HP HDX 16 which was the last 15.6" 1080p screen HP offered in a consumer model until the recent ones added. I never even thought of the characters as being too small. I then went the the DV8, an 18.4" 1080p screen, and frankly only noticed the lower DPI in graphics, but didn't notice a huge difference in readability, though it's hard to argue that there isn't one.

 

1080p matte >>>>> 768p glossy on DV6

 

This really depends on how good your eyes are. Without resizing, the text will be small. I have 18.4" HDX with 1080P and would not consider anything less then 17" for 1080P. But then my eyes are not perfect either.

The other option is to buy a 27" monitor with HDMI and just use that when you are doing work. If you have to be mobile, this would not work. But IMO, would be easier to work around the desktop. The best option would be to have both the large monitor and 1080P on your laptop.

 

I got the 1080p screen, it is gorgeous. Don't even think of getting the glossy 1366x768! You can drop the rez to 1366x768 to get fluid fps games, or if you really want to read text easier in windows.

 

1920x1080 is by definition a 1080p screen

 

Hello, I'm very interested in these display. Now I use HP ProBook 4520s with matte one. It was the only one "matte" HP laptop on Russian/Belarusian market in 2010. (I'm Belarusian, so sorry for my English).

I like "business"/sharp design of ProBooks. But, angles of view and colour rendition of my 1366x768 are poor indeed.

(You now, i hate all glossy displays because of glares and so on (my work is connected with graphics, fonts etc). The only thing helps me is to use old matte Apple Cinema Display 20" connected to my laptop)

So, HP Pavilion dv6t with Anti-glare Display option seems to be very nice alternative. Has anyone compared this Anti-glare 1920 x 1080 with Apple's 1680x1050 optionally assignable to 15" MacBookPro (Apple is a little bit expensive for me, and i'm not a fan of MacOS)? Maybe, you know other HP laptops models with "premium" anti-glare displays? (I mean angles and color rendition)

Thank you very much.
